    This seems like a fanfic, but the shocking part is that it is definitely possible : as long as 34 Senators agree with it. The only check on abuse of Presidential power now is impeachment. A President who gives this speech can act with impunity as long as 34 Senators agree to vote “no” on impeachment.
